Tom Dyson, New Forest Yew Wood Buttons

Yew is a fantastic English wood. Its what we used to make the Longbows with historically. It has beautiful warm orange like tones and goes with almost any colour yarn!

All wood used is from the New Forest, as well as them being hand turned in the New Forest, you can't get more local than that!
